President Trump's inauguration attracted many of the world's wealthiest, notably in the fossil fuel sector. Following the event, 15 major fossil fuel billionaires witnessed a surge in their collective wealth by $3.31 billion, emphasizing the financial benefits associated with Trump's presidency. A report by the Climate Accountability Research Project indicates these individuals have collectively gained $17 billion since the new year. This wealth accumulation underscores the positive correlation between Trump's political trajectory and the fossil fuel industry's economic fortunes, per analysis from CARP using Bloomberg data.
The connection between Trump's rise and policy choices has significantly benefited fossil fuel billionaires, who saw a combined wealth increase of $3.31 billion post-inauguration.
Chuck Collins, co-founder of CARP, remarked on the wealth increase for billionaires, considering it a significant return on investment following Trump's election win.
